Mysuru’s first 64-bed CCC for women opened

It’s a 64-bed facility connected to a government maternity hospital for supervision and medical care

Mysuru’s first exclusive COVID-19 Care Centre (CCC) for women was inaugurated at the International Youth Hostel building in Gokulam second stage on Tuesday. The women-centric CCC gained importance as the health workers, during the door-to-door survey for identifying people with symptoms, had come across many women neglecting their health and not disclosing symptoms because of domestic obligations. The survey found that women in home isolation were not taking proper rest and getting nutritional supplements that were essential for recovering from the infection. This led to the thought of establishing the CCC for the exclusive treatment and care of women. Accordingly, Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri identified the space with the help of Mysuru City Corporation for housing the first such centre which she inaugurated on Tuesday.
